My daughter loves the new and improved "paint" best of all...

Now if they would only update mine sweeper LOL

I have to agree... Win7 is an upgrade from XP, I knew if we waited long enough they would get there!
I just hope they don't blow it up with a bad service pack .

The fact that they finaly released an OS that requires less RAM than it's predecessor really impressed me too.

However, it was probably not that tough to do,
I bet most of it was ripping the digital media licensing / copy protection BS, that MS was never able to sell any licenses for, out of the kernal . Of course they don't (and won't) admit that is what it is... ;P

Have you guys seen the new ads for win7 "I'm a PC, and Win7 was my idea!" Well... Typical MS.

I shot them and email and told them - I am a PC and I need a new search engine with "Bling"...
Sigh...
Win7 it was my idea... - ** BUT I said "B-L-I-N-G"! not "B-I-N-G"! ** - LOL

I would however be very pleased to see a heck of a lot more of that "Less is More" attitude!!!

Windows 7 is best.Because it has better features then the other.And Windows 7 is a vast improvement from Vista as it takes up much less ram and has other optimizations such as fast booting times. I recommend Windows 7, and if you really don't want vista and don't want to wait for the final version of Windows 7, you can download a copy of the Release Candidate from the Microsoft website for free and use it up till June of 2010. I am working with the Release Candidate right now and so far I have absolutely no complaints, considering Im a heavy computer use with advanced software.

indeed... When i run it from my touchsmart i almost aways do it with a closed lid, the onscreen keyboard is very sensitive and the handwriting recognization is good in english and portuguese-brazil (which is my mother language). not to mention that controling things with your finger is way more fast, intuitive and fun that doing it with a mouse ;D

Speedy access to your favorite pictures, songs, websites, and documents.

A quick (and fun) new way to resize and compare windows on your desktop.

Must-have software for your PC—free! Get Mail, Photo Gallery, and other favorites.

At last, searching your PC is as simple as searching the web.

It's designed to sleep and resume quicker, be less memory hungry, and spot USB devices faster.

Windows 7 makes the most of powerful 64-bit PCs, the new desktop standard.

New power-saving features are designed to help laptops run longer.

I am running 7201 - 64 bit and it came from Microsoft.

I certainly agree with you regarding anything from the Torrents, spyware, bots etc.

A couple of sites are saying later builds do not work with the Microsoft key #'s and so timeout after 30 days.
Microsoft of course is not issuing #'s for those releases.

The old thing about you get what you deserve from the Torrents is certainly true.

Personally, I would stay away from any leaked release numbered higher than 7229/7231. Anything above that started off as a virtual hard drive (VHD) which was extracted and heavily screwed with to create an unofficial ISO that is only partially installable.

So if the 'test' release you are working with was ORIGINALLY available from a trusted source as an ISO, go ahead and play if you can verify the hashsums.

But if your play release started out as a VHD, you can be sure that it's been heavily screwed with and by it's nature untrustworthy regadless of who published the download links or hashsums.
